Happy Fourth of July, CRI Community 🇺🇸

Have a safe and joyful holiday 🎆

Happy Pride Month from all of us at CRI 🏳️‍🌈

Earlier this month, 70 rowers filled five eights and two barges for our annual Pride Row on the Charles—a celebration of community, belonging, and the joy of being on the water together.

It was a powerful reminder of what makes CRI special: everyone belongs here. And we mean it.

This weekend in Sarasota, CRI's Simeon John won gold in the Men's Youth Single Scull at the 2026 USRowing Youth Nationals — finishing three seconds ahead of the field. It's the culmination of years of work, rising from third place to silver to national champion. Simeon, the entire CRI community is so proud of you!

USRowing Youth Nationals is here! 🔥

Our Youth Comp teams hit the water tomorrow, and we can't wait to cheer them on! Good luck teams!

Belonging isn't found. It's created. And on Giving Day, you created it. 🎉

Together, we raised more than $226,000 — every gift a ripple, every ripple a reason to keep showing up. Thank you for being part of this community, on the water and off.

Lieutenant Winthrop John Edwards wasn't looking for a workout. He was looking for a team.

After leaving active service, Winthrop came to Community Rowing, navigating the transition to civilian life - searching for the structure, purpose, and connection that military service had given him. He found it on CRI's Military Team.

"The camaraderie on the Military Team feels strikingly familiar to what I experienced in the service. Rowing demands trust — one weak link affects the whole boat, and one committed teammate can elevate everyone."

At the 2025 San Diego Crew Classic, a quiet moment at sunrise before competition began said everything. "There was a calm confidence in knowing we had put in the work together."

Winthrop didn't find belonging at CRI. He helped create it - and so do you. Give now and keep the door open for the next person who needs exactly this.
